2025-11-20 23:26:28 +0000 UTCI love listening to Freddie's ridiculous stories. I would listen to a podcast of Freddie just telling stories

2025-07-10 11:23:39 +0000 UTCI never listened through the last 7 min of this episode and for over a year now I have been missing out on the golden "Pobody's Nerfect" from Will Campos. I now know what I've been missing all along

2025-02-17 10:57:24 +0000 UTCIt's funny as someone who lives in rural Washington to hear the "city boys" get scared. I've gone a couple days without seeing other cars on the road, weird rednecks and wild animals are a daily occurrence

2024-12-12 23:16:23 +0000 UTCI apparently need to rewatch the Donald Sutherland remake of Bodysnatchers cause the original is one of my favorite movies and I hated the remake. Also, Eternal Darkness being one of Matt's favorite games makes so much sense and I couldn't stop thinking about that game while listening to this series.

2024-09-08 04:36:19 +0000 UTCI fucking LOVED that Pixar trailer. I experience a great deal of nostalgia listening to the music and watching the hand drawn animations before the cut to Wall-E

2024-09-08 04:35:04 +0000 UTCI would love Kidz Bop D&Daddies so I can listen with my kids one day

2024-08-28 20:28:37 +0000 UTCMusicals really are the goat for combatting road fatigue. Even better if you sing along. Name me one person who’s ever fallen asleep while belting Good Morning Baltimore

2024-06-22 06:12:49 +0000 UTCIn my opinion I don't think Robbie's final act with the box was a futile one. If the director had opened it on his next turn, I imagine the Doodler would have been released inside the building and consumed everything and everyone in it. By jumping out of the window and summoning it outside instead, Robbie gave Stud the opportunity to snap out of his stupor and banish it from a safe distance.

2024-01-10 08:32:45 +0000 UTCI loved the scary stories!!

2023-10-18 19:16:22 +0000 UTCIn the main series, I agree. But in this one, because so very much of it is psychological and visual horror based, I think that having all of the sound design really helps me personally get into the headspace the characters are meant to be in. Going from the unsettling gooey sticky horror sounds to the nice beach sounds and peacefulness Robert went to when his mind broke was a great beat to me, and it definitely sets aside this bonus stylistically from the main series for me

2023-10-09 16:30:42 +0000 UTCMatt, I hear you when you say Eternal Darkness is one of your favorite games. It's my favorite, too, and I'm sad it hasn't gotten more love and attention.

2023-07-27 21:41:11 +0000 UTCI think less is more with sound design, at least in these series. When Power Word Kill is used in S1 it's very dramatic because there's pretty much no other sound effects played during the campaign which makes it that much more dramatic.

2023-07-23 00:27:24 +0000 UTCOne thing about this series that I just adored so deeply was the Music and sound design and I really loved hearing about it! Seriously the strings when Robert died and when stuff got to much it was so haunting and all encompassing. It worked really well!

2023-05-18 13:25:11 +0000 UTCThe Stamplers having a direct link to facing the Doodler and the inter generational horror aspect that Matt mentioned hit different this far into Season 2.

Oren Tuchman
2022-07-26 12:09:17 +0000 UTCI loved your CoC mini series but I have to say that the drive up story and Freddy's story in the first few minutes of this ep were 800x scarier

2022-06-21 05:23:35 +0000 UTCWait, by Cabin Pressure do you mean John Finnemore's Cabin Pressure? Because, if so, I love him

2020-01-03 03:44:46 +0000 UTCDear God, that would be amazing. Gotta go with the grandbabies, though. Don't wanna force the crew to RP as characters that Anthony made up.
Christopher Pete
2020-01-01 01:42:15 +0000 UTCLoved this! Would love for you guys to do a Cyberpunk 2020 one shot someday!

2019-12-29 00:44:09 +0000 UTCIs there anyway we can note why we're patrons? I want to indicate that I exclusively love the horror content.
